About this property

Quinta das Vinhas is made of a 17th century house, 2 outdoor pools and small houses spread through the property, filled with vineyards. It is located in Calheta, Madeira Island. The 1st floor of the manor house includes the old kitchen, adapted now to a dining room but having kept the original water filter and bread oven. There are 6 bedrooms for the guests in this house. The old chapel was converted into a reading room. The houses feature a kitchenette where guests can prepare their own meals. Alternatively, a buffet breakfast and dinner can be served in the manor house, upon prior request. The terrace with benches and centenary oak trees provides a tranquil setting for relaxation. Quinta das Vinhas organises wine tastings and guided tours to its wine cellars and the vineyards. Funchal is 36 km from Quinta das Vinhas, and Madeira Airport is a 45-minute drive.

Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.1 for a two-person trip.

Company information

At Quinta das Vinhas we are committed to giving our guests a memorable experience. Our dedicated team works with smiles, ensuring our guests are well cared for. Quinta das Vinhas was born from our wish to preserve family heritage, and to let others experience staying in a Madeira farmhouse. So in 1997 we completed the restoration of the Main House, and received our first guests. The cottages were then built to provide larger rooms for guests who stay for longer visits.  Quinta das Vinhas has a strong commitment to preserving the island's heritage whilst upholding a strong environmental policy. In 2018 the property was fully refurbished and another cottage was restored. The conversion to an organic vineyard was also started at the beginning of 2018.

Property information

In former times Quinta das Vinhas was the only house on the hillside in Estreito da Calheta, called Lombo dos Serroes. Already in those days vines were cultivated in addition to sugar cane, vegetables and fruits. Since the beginning of 2018 the Vineyard been run by Quinta das Vinhas and is converting to organically cultivated grapes for wine making. We have a unique collection of 75 different grape varieties, as for many years this was an experimental vineyard. Guests are welcome to find out more about our vineyard, and take part in daily activities or the harvest if they feel like it.
